    What do you guys think about weight pull? Niño is very strong, his idea of a frisbee is a kiddie pool. He will pull us around in it (by his teeth) and he doesn't hesitate to pull when he's on his walking harness. He even pulls me on a skateboard, but I made a makeshift cart for him once and he just froze up. Do you think a club would let us sit in on one class and give it a try before committing to a whole course and harness?

    He won't touch his kong. It's "too heavy" a toy for him. He's such a dufus because one of his favorite activities is dragging around the top of a fisher price sandbox or a kiddie pool, with or without someone standing in it.

    Weight pull sounds like an excellent idea! I'd sit in at a few like you said, to see if you and Nino like it.

    If you want to get involved let me know..I can refer you to an online store with good priced harnesses and such.

    Here is a great article you may want to check out as well.
